Share Our World: Highlights of my stay in Hertfordshire, England
This summer I was able to spend 3.5 weeks in England. I had a great mix of staying in a big city (London), university town (Cambridge), the sea side (Cornwall) and rural England (Hertfordshire, Wiltshire and Somerset). I spent about three days Hertfordshire, which is north of London on the way to take classes at Cambridge.
Much Hadham
I rented a cottage in the village of Much Hadham and walked to Henry Moore's house and gardens. I shopped at the local store for groceries and got fish and chips at the truck that comes to town on Friday nights in the summer months.
This a quite little village (population 2,087 as of 2011) with houses that all have names!

Henry Moore Studios and Gardens
The main reason I stopped in Hertfordshire is to go to Henry Moore Studios and Gardens. I am a big fan of his art and wanted to walk around the estate and see so many of his Sculptures in one place.
It was wonderful. It even rained on the second day and that was great too.

Here is the path I took from Henry Moore to the Airbnb. I did get lost. I found my way and got to go through a sheep farm and on a forest path.

Harlow
I went to church and ate lunch in Harlow. This city is known as Harlow Sculpture Town and has over 100 public art works throughout the city.

There is so much to Hertfordshire, these are a few hightlights from the three days I spent there this summer.
Oh here are some more wonderful views from the train ride from Harlow to Cambridge.

Thank you @hideey.writes and welcome to Hive!
Hermoso sitio, hasta fue bien que te perdiste porque disfrutaste de ese campo y del rebaño de ovejas de verdad quedaron bonitas esas fotos, se puede decir que formo parte de tu aventura.
Hola Jose, Thank you for your comment. I am glad you felt part of the adventure and yes, it was great getting lost and seeing the sheep and forest. So pretty. Glad someone pointed me in the right direction!
Hola @sjarvie5 que hermoso se ven las esculturas en el campo, me parece muy original ver un museo en medio de la naturaleza, normalmente vemos museos totalmente cerrados, pero al aire libre sencillamente sensacional y ver que está muy cerca de un rebaño de ovejas, se ve magico ese sitio.
Hi @sebascraft thank you for your comment. It was magical. The sculptures are by Henry Moore. He adored sheep and it was so fun getting lost and finding myself in his sheep farm. Here is one of the sketches he did of his sheep at the Tate Britain Museum in London.
The photos look incredible. I love that place; it feels like you can breathe peace and tranquility.
Thank you @joanm897 It was wonderful.
What country is this??
It says in the title. It is England. :)
Yeah, im know now. Im sorry for that.
This is such a very beautiful place and you are able to get amazing shots
Thanks @sammywrite
I always learn something new from your posts. Thank you so much for sharing your travel experiences with us in such a beautiful way.
So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.
Welcome friend 🥰
Wow! Hertfordshire is really a hidden gem worth exploring!🤗
Yes, it was so great. Glad I made a point to go there for a few days.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful place!😊
The location you visited is breathtaking; you won't be bored when you see it this way. The location is also very serene. You must have had a great time visiting this place.
Hi @crstypatata Yes, I had a great time there.
Bello es Inglaterra y el pueblito se ve tranquilo y acogedor, para un buen descanso, mucho apoyo al mundo del arte por las obras y esculturas que se encuentran a sus alrededores. Algo que me llamo mucho la atención es que escribes que las casas del pueblo tienen su nombre, muy original, porque no solo identificas a las personas o mascotas sino tambien a las casas por su nombre. Esto post nos ayuda a conocer la cultura y experiencia de los que habitan en esos paises tan lejanos, pero nos acerca a través de esta plataforma.
Glad you feel like you are getting to know a little about other places. That is the goal for the Share Our World posts.

Without a doubt, what I liked most about this publication was Henry Moore's Studios and Gardens, this art form that is so different and innovative, worthy of complete admiration, an incredible fascination for our eyes.🥰😍

Hertfordshire looks so peaceful and charming the countryside paths, cottages, and sculptures sound like the perfect mix of art and nature. I love that the houses even have names, it adds such a cozy and personal touch! Your story about getting lost and ending up in a sheep farm made me smile sometimes those unexpected detours become the best part of the adventure.
